My understanding is that they'll try to dilute the 15 million doses currently in the stockpile into 75 million.

Since there aren't enough vaccinations for everyone, these will be held as a contingency if there are smallpox outbreaks anywhere. In such a case, they'll try to create a firewall around the epidemic with rapid-response vaccinations.

yeah, well, that sucks. Why did they end the vaccinations in the first place? Why aren't they resuming manufacture. This is 1950s technology, is it not? Can't we speed up the process and get the vaccine out and in people's blood ASAP?
